Hi,
I'm in software support. The company I work for has a team of
developers. I have been asked by my boss to learn "at least the
basics.." of SQL. This would be so that I can deal with any mundane or
perhaps easy to answer questions regarding sql error messages our
software produces.
I am a novice to sql, though I do have some programming techniques
having qualified in COBOL a 'few' years ago.
My question is this:-
Can anybody attest to the effectiveness of w3schools.com as a method for
such a novice to learn basic SQL, or can anybody recomend books such as
Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days.
Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

TIA,
Barney.
